17 The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) Helen Boden Head of Training & Assessment

18 What s this session about? To provide a broad overview f the changes associated with the GDPR To identify the sorts of things that Local Dyslexia Associations may need to consider To sign post to sources of further information

19 Key Facts Comes into force on May 25 th 2018 There will be no bedding in time post this date Brings together other legislation in this area but with some enhancements The thrust of it is to ensure that individuals have greater control over their personal data

20 Things You Need to Know

21 Privacy Notices The requirements for Privacy Notices have changed under the GDPR and been extended. Therefore, the BDA has created a new Privacy Notice to reflect this which is on our website. The key principle is that data will only be used in a way that could be reasonably be expected

22 Information to be contained in Privacy Notice What information is being collected? Who is collecting it? How is it collected? Why is it being collected? How will it be used? Who will it be shared with? How long and how will it be kept? What will be the effect of this on the individuals concerned? How can changes be made? How can they complain if they need to?

23 Individual s Rights The right to be informed The right to access The right to rectification The right to erasure The right to restrict processing The right to data portability The right to object The right not to be subjected to automated decision-making including profiling

24 Access Requests Individuals now have the right to ask for the data that you hold; In most cases there cannot now be a charge for supplying this data The data must be supplied within 1 month Data requests can be refused but only if they are excessive If a data request is refused the individual must receive an explanation and given the right to complain Complaints must be responded to within 1 month

25 Lawful Basis for Processing Data The lawful basis on which data is going to be processed should be identified within the privacy notice Individuals will have to give consent for their data to be processed This consent can be withdrawn by the individual. They can request their data be deleted. Consent relates only to the specific activity for which it was collected. This is particularly important for things like marketing, sharing contacts lists, etc.

26 Consent Consent must be: Freely given Specific Informed Unambiguous There must be a positive opt-in Contact preferences must also be identified.

27 Historical Consent Where historical data is held that has consent using previous opt-out clauses it can still be held. If, however, this data is to be used for a purpose other than which it was originally intended fresh consent will need to be sought. Consent statements must be clear and separate from other terms & conditions

28 Children Where we collect any data directly from children (under the age of 16 years) then consent would need to be sought first from the individual with parental responsibility.

29 Data Breaches The GDPR introduces a duty on all organisations to report certain types of data breach to the Information Commissioner s Office (ICO). Where a breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals, we also have to notify those concerned directly. There must be procedures in place to deal with such a situation.

30 Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA) These are now mandatory Essentially for any new projects then data protection must be an integral part of the planning process For example: a new website that uses cookies, a new IT system for storing data, etc.

31 Data Protection Officer There should be someone designated to take responsibility for data protection compliance This role sits within the organisation s structure and governance arrangements.

32 For More Information For more information visit the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)
